Need CCTV cameras with Progressive Scan

[smorton 0]

I'm looking for inexpensive CCTV cameras with progressive scan but normal interlaced output. Several vendors announced such cameras in Spring 2003, but I have not seen any of them on the market.

 

I'm looking for high resolution color cameras, as well as high resolution B&W cameras.

 

To clarify what I'm looking for, I want a camera that, for NTSC, produces 30 frames per second where the two fields for a given frame come from a single, progressive scan of the image sensor, not two interdigitated scans.

 

I need this to improve the capture of the images of moving subjects and objects. This is important to me because we make a new digital video security system that produces multiple, IP-based, digital video streams simultaneously and continuously per camera. The "forensics" stream captures at full (4CIF) camera resolution, minimal quantization and medium frame rate/camera. The "video matrix switch replacement stream" captures at 1CIF resolution, medium quantization and 30 frames/second/camera.

 

The use of progressive scan is particularly important since we're capturing at full camera resolution (4CIF) instead of the more-common, 1CIF resolution, which discards every other field and would not benefit from progressive scan.

I don't know if these are inexpensive but they certainly seem to meet the specifications that you desire. At least you can check them out and get some ideas. Here is the link.

I would be evry interested to talk to you about this project.. although I assume Allan probably is.

I kind of have one. The kind of is that at present we have a progressive scan imager but we currently take two captures per frame. However the hardware can support outputting both fields from the same image capture I just haven't enabled this yet as not many people currently have the requirement. It is PAL or NTSC (got to love progressive imagers), 1/3" colour. It is based on the DPS system from Pixim Inc. If you are interested pop a post and we can talk. Unfortunately it would not be in production with this feature until May. I could provide beta test units though.

The new Dallmeier DF3000A-DN series cameras are awesome. It has a progressive scan imager and outputs 2 segmented field interpolations of of a captured frame. No more interlace distortion issues when recording D1 (frames) with motion in the captured scene.

 

Just installed 8 box and 7 dome cameras in a high school. The remote control unit makes setup easy...
